Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is seen walking though city council chambers Wednesday.

Reformed crack-smoking Toronto Mayor is getting high again — but this time it's at the polls.

Ford, who returned to work last month after a stint in drug and alcohol rehab, is quickly gaining ground in his uphill battle to win reelection, capturing the support of 31% of Toronto voters, according to a new poll.

Ford still came in second to John Tory, who netted the support of 34% of respondents in the Forum Research poll of nearly 2,000 likely Toronto voters.

Still, Ford's placement as a close second marks a significant rise for the politician who just months ago admitted to smoking crack cocaine and using a slew of other drugs.

Since the last Forum Research poll, taken just three weeks earlier, Ford's support has grown by six percentage points, while Tory's has fallen by one.

Ford spent two months in rehab earlier this summer after admitting to using cocaine, hallucinogenic mushrooms and crack.

"I have a problem with alcohol and the choices I have made while under the influence. I have struggled with this for some time," Ford said a statement announcing his decision to seek help. "I have tried to deal with these issues by myself over the past year. I know that I need professional help and I am now 100% committed to getting myself right."
